P16, a Sugarcane Endophyte, Produces Antifungal Compounds and Induces Root Growth

in different crops, little is known about the establishment of an endophytic interaction, and its potential effects on plant physiology. preferentially colonizes the sugarcane surface and, occasionally, the endophytic environment. and its preference for the phylloplane environment, which should be considered in future studies of biocontrol using this species. In addition, this work contributes to the knowledge of the interaction of this ubiquitous endophyte with the host plant, and also to a better use of microbial endophytes in agriculture
